Infocus IN78EX Announced
Infocus has long been known for making the most inexpensive business projectors, but they’re shifting gears and changing direction by entering the home cinema specialty market with their new 720p projector, the Play Big IN78EX. While details are slim, the basic idea is known. The Play Big IN78EX will go up against other specialty projectors such as the Epson’s PowerLite Cinema 810 and Planar’s new projectors. Since features are more important than specifications in the specialty market, Infocus is shying away from the details, simply letting it be known that the brightness is 1000 lumens. As for the features they feel are more important is the D65 color calibration and Pixelworks DNX technology. While a bit expensive at $4,499 USD, Infocus expects it to be quite a hit among home cinema enthusiasts.

This is nothing new, InFocus has been making Home Entertainment projectors since 2001. and have been in the HDTV market with 720p since 2002 with the Screen Play 7200, followed by the SP7205 (2004), SP5000 (2004), SP7210 (2005), and the IN76 in April 2006. This is their current new model to compete in the High-End Home Entertainment Projectors. I can’t wait until they enter the 1080p market.
